June 6- Riverton Kids Fishing Event

Celebrate Wyoming’s five-star fisheries this year by fishing without a license for a day — for free. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites anglers to celebrate Free Fishing Day on June 6. Each year, Game and Fish designates the first Saturday of National Boating and Fishing Week as a free fishing day when anyone can fish in Wyoming — except within the Wind River Reservation and Yellowstone National Park  —  without a fishing license. 

All fishing regulations, creel and size limits, gear restrictions and stream closures remain in effect. Anglers can review the 2026 Fishing Regulations online before heading out and planning their trips with the interactive fishing guide.

If possible, participants should bring their own fishing gear to these events, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Sponsored by Riverton Kiwanis. Lunch provided by Riverton Kiwanis. Fishing rods and tackle provided by North Platte Walleyes Unlimited.
